slowly into stride, raced in last, switched to near side over 3f out, headway over 1f out, ridden and led inside final furlong, stayed on |

13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
4l winner on nursery debut over Chester's 7f but couldn't carry a penalty on the AW (8.6f) and was only fourth to Corriamo here last time; the winner might be the one open to most improvement over this far. |

ducked left start, took keen hold, in touch with leaders on inner, outpaced from 2f out, rallied and went fourth inside final furlong, not pace to challenge |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Back on the up for Adam Kirby this spring, winning at Southwell (6f, AW) and Lingfield (5f, AW) as well as three second-place finishes; 0-16 on turf but effective on fast ground and this intermediate trip could be ideal. |
7/4 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Bolted up on his stable debut at Southwell in March (6f); dropped to 5f for his last two starts, picked off late at Catterick (good ground) before a ready win on the AW track here nine days ago; another 7lb higher mark to contend with but unlikely he has reached his ceiling just yet. |
7/4 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won easily in today's headgear combination on last month's seasonal/stable debut at Southwell (6f, AW) and ran big race in defeat when dropped back to 5f at Catterick (good; wore cheekpieces) last week; quickly back in action before latest 2lb rise takes effect and may still have more to offer for new trainer. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice on slow ground in the autumn of 2024; in and out in his three runs this year but his Leicester fourth last month (7f, good) brings him into the reckoning; a visor is now tried (ran well in one attempt in cheekpieces); further rainfall would aid his chance. |
10/1 |

8th 4 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Campaigned mostly on turf and over 7f, winning twice (as a 2yo); latest effort was better than reappearance and suggested this return to 1m is worth exploring; could go well, provided he's as effective back on AW. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 (5) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On a losing sequence and he failed to beat a rival on his return in 16-runner handicap at Doncaster (7f) 15 days ago; needs to take a big step forward. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Two soft-ground wins (7.4f/1m) in 2024, but he's drawn a blank since and has struggled on the Flat and over hurdles in his last four starts; has plenty to prove and yard also runs Evelyn's Phoenix. |
16/1 |
|
8th 7 (4) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two soft-ground wins (7.4f/1m) in 2024 but he's drawn a blank since and has been well held on the Flat and over hurdles in his last three starts; bit to prove and he needs a big turnaround back in this sphere; cheekpieces reapplied. |
16/1 |

4th 8 |
4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Two low-grade Flat wins in 2024 (7.5f-1m); well beaten on recent Market Rasen hurdles debut (2m, juvenile maiden; 150-1); connections waste no time by dropping him into a claimer; difficult to identify a positive angle. |

18th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Won in small field at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) in August; creditable third, despite meeting trouble, at Redcar (good) most recently and ties in closely with Forteleza on that effort; major player. |

3rd 12 (1) |
25th Sep 2024 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |

towards rear, headway over 2f out, switched right over 1f out, soon short of room and bumped, went third inside final 110yds, kept on |

6th 7 (1) |
4th Sep 2024 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
From a yard in form and improved to win in small field at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) last week, leading late on; penalised 6lb and will need another personal best but that's possible and he'll certainly handle the ground. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Struggled initially in handicaps but, having dropped down the weights, she has been more competitive on her last four outings; each-way claims in open race. |
9/2 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Generally disappointing since winning a novice at Ffos Las (7.5f, good) last June but she's been placed in two of her last three starts, including at Kempton (1m, AW) nine days ago; drops back in trip and back down in grade slightly; can go well. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 6 (10) |
19th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Generally disappointing since last summer's Ffos Las novice win (7.3f, good) but comes here after making the frame in her last two turf handicaps (7.3f/1m) and has possibilities if that form transfers to Polytrack. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Poor strike-rate and he hasn't been at his best since finishing second at Southwell in October; slipping down the weights but others arrive in better form. |
12/1 |
|
10th 10 (1) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just one win from his 21 starts but he was twice a runner-up over C&D last autumn and he is now 4lb lower than for the second of those efforts; recent runs need bettering if he is to take this though. |
16/1 |
|
6th 6 (4) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Just one win from 17 starts (5.5f, good to firm; off 3lb lower mark) but he comes here on the back of two good second-place finishes at Southwell; clear of the third on latter occasion and a 2lb rise justified; should be in the thick of it. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
7f-1m AW winner and 7f turf winner (good) last year when 6lb lower; well below par on both AW and turf on his last two starts and he does have a little to prove after that. |
20/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Gained his third success when winning at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March having got plenty of cover when there was a headwind; wasn't able to match that effort there 23 days ago and now steps back up in grade; returns to turf with place claims. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
4yo who recorded his third win when beating ten rivals over C&D last month; back up 4lb but he travelled strongly for a long way last time and hit a personal best with that stylish success; key player. |
